I've shared with you the story of Janell Yeo in class. She is someone who has the courage to pursue her dreams of becoming a violinist at such a young age. Now, she's back in Singapore performing her first solo concert.
All of us dream of becoming somebody, owning something or doing something which we really want to do. Whatever it is, it will not be possible to realise our dream if we do not have a plan. In this week's reflection, I would like you to tell me about your dream. Here are some questions to guide you in your reflection:
a) What is your dream?
b) Why do you think this dream is so important to you?
c) How do you plan to realise your dream?
d) Do you think people should have dreams? Why?
Dream away..... :)
“To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”

my dream is to be a nurse.
because i can help a lot of patients.
i can earn lots of money.
people will have dreams if not they could not success.
My dream is to travel around the world. This dream is important to me because I like to explore new places and experience different climates. To realise this dream, I plan to earn more money for the trip and find more information on the different countries that I want to go to. I will also read more books about the climates of different countries so that I will know what the weather will be like in the country I am going to.
I think people should have dreams so that everyone will have a goal in life. With a goal, people will work towards their goal by themselves instead of depending on others to help them.
i know this may sound weird but my dream is to become a doctor. i want to specialize in one area but am not so sure what area. maybe an orthopedic surgeon... i think that House and CSI played a part in my decision. other factors are my relatives. my granduncle, his son and his daughter-in-law are all doctors. my maternal grandparents really wanted my mum to be a doctor but it did not happen so i feel the responsibility to fulfill their dream and my parents dreams. i hope that i will be able to fulfill not only their dreams but my dreams too!!!!
1) I would like to represent Singapore in sports.[although i know it may not come true]
2) In the near future, i can represent Singapore in sports events.
3) Well, i have to start to train and build up my stamina.
4) Yes. When you have a dream then you will have the determination to work hard to achieve this dream.
... my dream is to pilot a f16 plane....
i can guard the skies around singapore to prevent hostile forces from attacking.
i plan to study hard and try to get new results to get to a good uni to learn aerospace engineering..
People should have dreams to motivate them to strive for the best. People without dreams will just wander and wander around.
a) I have many dreams. Really.
I would want to be either a stewardess, musician/singer or a entreprenuer(:
b) I would like to me a stewardess as i would like to travel around the world. Being a musician is not a thing anyone can do, So you need to have talent to do that & i think i have it (: Haaha. I would also like to set up my own shop selling bags/accessories/clothing/shoes
C)By defenitely working hard one the studies. Because with out my studies. i cannot do any of these things.
D) Defenitely. Without dreams, you would be leading a really boring life that you have nothing to do & daze around everyday even maybe with out a house by the roads.
Everyone should & will have a dream to become something one day.
( my one last wish is to be rich)

My dream is to be someone who can make a big difference in this ever-changing world.I can influence people to change by being like influential superstars,like Brad Pitt who was able to help MILLIONS of hurricane Katrina victims,and even build houses for some of them.This dream is important because i live only ONE life,and i should live it to the fullest,without dying with regrets.In order to make full use of my life,i should not only have a part in one life,but play a part to improve other people's life.In order to achieve this mega-dream,i must work on my own life first before trying to help others.Everyone's life starts of like block of wood,the environment surrounding the block of wood will have an effect on it's sculpting quality and foundation.After that,you begin to sculpt out a career,a dream,a goal.Imagine you are the block of wood,the environments surrounding you could be poverty,abuse,peer pressure,ill health etc.(This is just one of many stupid,idiotic phrases i have stuck in my brain.)Anyway,to have a dream,means to have a goal.A goal is the ultimate target in life that you have,so that after achieving it,and even if you have to die,you would have no regrets.So,of course it is important to have a dream in life.Or not,is life worth living?
